Let’s call it Banoffee Layer Cake shall we? Just between us. This decadent banana-toffee special-occasion cake is pretty darned impressive not only to look at, but to taste as well. It’s elegant, but rustic and deceptively easy to make; now, follow the instructions …

With an almondy sponge cake, fresh bananas and loads of whipped vanillery cream and salted caramel, it is pretty hard to not just love this one. It is also super rustic, so as we always say, #youcandoit !
